Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 100

It wasn't that they had meant to eavesdrop.

Janina had simply doubled back, wanting to tell Summer that she could help her get a gown for the gala.

She had almost forgotten about her trump card: the Nova Group. Why would she need to buy a dress?

Summer had been the first person to show her kindness when she moved in with the Gable family.

She desperately wanted to help this poor woman, just as Summer had once helped her.

They were kindred spirits, after all. Women helping women—there was nothing wrong with that.

But when she came back, she overheard the conversation between Summer and Vincent in the hospital room.

Summer had it on speakerphone, so the four of them outside the door heard every single word. It was enough to make their blood boil.

Later that day, Janina learned from a nurse about Summer's condition: late-stage pancreatic cancer.

The next day, when Janina went to see Summer, she found her getting ready to leave the hospital. Summer seemed momentarily stunned to see Janina visiting her.

It had been a long time since she had felt cared for by anyone.

So long that she had almost forgotten what it was like to matter to someone.

At first, Summer maintained a distant, indifferent attitude.

She felt that someone as tainted as her didn't deserve their kindness.

But the persistent warmth from Janina and her friends gradually melted that icy exterior.

Janina, Maggie, Melody, and Wendy visited her every day, talking with her, and slowly, Summer began to accept their friendship.
